My hero is Jane Goodall. Now she is 75 years old. She is from England. She was born in 1934 April 3rd.

She was one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century. She was famous for conducting breakthrough research on chimpanzees in Gombe. She lived with the chimps for 10 years in the wild and even gave them names instead of just numbering them like other researchers. She discovered that chimps make tools, have tribes, hug and kiss, and have different facial expression.

She discovered new things about when she was 21 years old. Dr. Louis Leaky encouraged her to take up on a study of wild chimpanzees. So she studied about chimpanzees.

She dreamed about living with animals but everyone laughed at her, but her supportive mother didn’t laugh at her and helped her and let her go to the jungle and study about chimpanzees.

I chose her as my hero because she is caring and I want to be more caring and she is a risk-taker and I want to be risk-taker. And she is inquirer.
